A/N: WELCOME TO HOGWARTS: THE MUSICAL! Well, this should be interesting, eh? Let's see where the cast of Hogwarts: THE MUSICAL! ends up when they're forced to sing what they're thinking! The epidemic has caught twice at the school, once in Harry's time, and once during the Marauder era. This heart-felt musical bounces between both eras, while developing heart-wrenching stories that are brought about by the forced telling of emotion.

Disclaimer: Everything Hogwarts belongs to JK Rowling. "I Will Always Love You" is from Whitney Houston, I have absolutely no idea who sang doowadiddy, or how to spell it for that matter, but I strongly hope that they don't sue me. Also, I believe "I can do anything" belongs to Annie Oakley, whom I also hope doesn't sue me. (Psst, Annie, if it helps, I was you for Halloween in fourth grade. Please don't sue me..)

It started just like any boring old day at Hogwarts. Harry woke up, got dressed, pulled on his robes, and went to breakfast. He sat at his usual spot, between Ron and Hermione, who were, as usual, arguing. He ate his usual breakfast in a very usual fashion. All in all, nothing was unusual. That is, until Ginny came over.

"Morning," she said tiredly. "Pass me the toast?" Then, she suddenly looked up at Harry, her eyes wide, and she began to sing.

"I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you dreamed off
And I wish to you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish to you love.

And I will always love you
I,will always love you
You, my darling you, you:"

Ginny froze, horrified. She blinked twice at Harry, who was staring at her like she had two heads, and then turned and ran away.

"Er.." Ron said. "She hasn't done anything like that since she went through that Celestina Warbeck obsession."

"Yeah," Harry said. "She was.. She was.." he froze and stared at his friends, and then he too started to sing. "There she was, just a-walkin down the street singin doowadiddy diddydum diddydoo!" He too look startled at his sudden outburst.

"Oh.. Oh no," Hermione said, giggling. "Not the musical hex!"

"The what?" Harry asked, looking extremely angry.

"The musical hex is probably the most feared hex known to Hogwarts students." Hermione said in that annoyingly superior voice. "It forces a student to sing. They sing a song that is related directly to what they're thinking at the moment. And the worst part is, it's contagious. If somebody around you is singing.. Chances are, you'll be doing it soon too." Suddenly Hermione hiccoughed and gave the boys a haughty look as she too began to sing:

"I can do anything you can do better, I can do anything better than you." She then covered her mouth in a horrified way, and cried out "Oh! You know that's not that I was thinking.. Well, I guess I was thinking how annoying it is to always have to explain everything to the two of you. But, Oh, It came out wrong."

"So," Ron said, scratching his head. "You sing something that's, er, related to what you're thinking?"

Hermione nodded.

"Oh, Um, I have to go!" Ron gathered up his books in a hurry and hurried out of the Great Hall.

"I wonder what he was thinking," Harry snickered. Then he got serious. "Hermione, has this ever happened at Hogwarts before?"

She nodded solemnly. "Once before," she said, looking down.
